The tenth world of the Vikings turned out to be to the taste of gamers, so every day the ranks of the northern warriors are replenished with new recruits. Walheim is not always a cozy and understandable place. We have to figure out many obvious (and not so obvious) things on our own, so even a banal search for ore can turn into a real problem.
Silver is an elite metal in Valheim, without which the player will have to be very tight. In the process of searching for ore, weather conditions and bloodthirsty beasts will interfere with you, so thorough preparation is the key to success.
Where to find silver?
The answer to this question is quite simple. To dig up the precious metal, you will have to travel to mountain biome. This is not a very pleasant place in terms of climate - the character is constantly at risk of giving up, turning into an icicle.
What to say about local residents: Wolves, werewolf golems, and even winged wyverns of all kinds won't wait for you to dig up a backpack full of silver.
Incidentally, another nuisance - the ore will have to be dug out, it does not roll underfoot, unlike obsidian (although it has its own disguise). If you still decide to risk the life of the protagonist and enroll in a squad of miners, let's get down to preparations.
What is useful for a player to mine silver?
First of all - a good mood, because digging is not fighting, you need a reserve of patience.
First, you should attend to the passage of the third boss - the Mass of Bones. It is in the swamps that the player will be able to craft iron armor, which will be useful in the mountains at first. And directly the boss leaves a bow after death - an analogue of a metal detector in the tenth world of the Vikings.
It works according to the following principle. An equipped shackle creates a characteristic green glow around the hero when he approaches the supposed location of the silver. This process is accompanied sound signal, which gradually intensifies, makes it clear that you are already there.
You must have at least 2 iron picks with you. There will be a lot of digging, so it is impractical to return to the base to repair an old one or create a new one.
Silver is not enough to find, in order to carry it away and recycle, it is necessary to survive. Which means you need iron armor to fight the beasts and stock of mead, which will allow you to regularly update the frost resistance buff. Therefore, do not be too lazy to do home brewing before the outing.
What is silver for?
You have shown patience and passed the tests of the mountain biome with dignity. Now you can craft ingots using the smelter. So what bonuses does silver give us, was it worth wasting time on these glitters?
- wolf armor - one of the coolest sets in the game. It provides excellent protection and frost resistance, which is a must-have for a mountain biome.
- Silver Arrows - An archer's dream.
- Silver Sword - Insane base damage and a deadly scourge for draugrs and skeletons who can't stand noble metal.
- Dragon helmet - a great addition to the wolf armor set, which does not imply the presence of a headdress. And it is also equipped with horns and is able to transform your Viking, making him brutal and authentic.
With the help of silver, you can make many more useful gizmos, so the player’s efforts will certainly not be in vain.
